30 never-before-seen photos of Nancy Reagan campaigning for Ronald in Auburn in 1976

Nancy was my first First Lady, the first I remember at least. Just Say No. Mr. T. Alf. She was awesome.

In early May 1976, she stopped in Auburn during a short campaign swing through the Heart of Dixie (whose Republicans supported her husband more than Gerald Ford) in advance of the May 4 primary elections in Georgia, Nebraska, and Indiana.

She spent the night in Auburn Friday night and held a press conference at a hotel Saturday, the day of the Texas Republican primary, which the Great Auburn Fan swept.
